Acceptable Bigotries: Arizona State U. Perpetuates Negative Christian Stereotypes

Acceptable Bigotries: Arizona State U. Perpetuates Negative Christian Stereotypes
BlogCritics.org: 02-13-2007

“…there are somewhere in the neighborhood of 50,000 Christian denominations running the gamut from the United Church of Christ, to the Quakers, to Roman Catholics, to Mormons, to Southern Baptists. Some denominations have no problems with gays such as the Anglicans. Other denominations say that homosexual behavior is wrong but still try to reach out in human understanding, such as Roman Catholics. Others are outright judgmental, preaching homosexuals as the harbinger of death and destruction, such as Fred Phelps and his gang. The problem with stereotypes is that it takes one case and then shrinks all others and forces them into a box. As is usual, reality is much more complex.”
